If Obama were in control, would you live past 75

If Obama were in control, would you live past 75 years?

""And this big improvement in American society is almost surely here to stay. The conservative health care nightmare – the one that led Republicans to go all-out against Bill Clinton's health plans in 1993 and Obamacare more recently – is that once health care for everyone, or almost everyone, has been put in place, it will be very hard to undo, because too many voters would have a stake in the system. That's exactly what is happening. Republicans are still going through the motions of attacking Obamacare, but the passion is gone. They're even offering mealymouthed assurances that people won't lose their new benefits.

True if and only if:
1. more people have health Insurance, and that means they have access to healthcare.
2. This results in improved health care at a lower cost.
3. The Obamacare system becomes popular enough that it is not repealed.

All three are not met. Doctors are leaving the profession or going to salaried so they can slack off.  No doctors equal no healthcare.

Medicare and Medical are paying less for healthcare, causing Doctors to lose on each visit. Doctors are less likely to accept patients.

The actual results are:
1. The health insurance will not provide good healthcare.
2. the result is less healthcare at higher cost.
3. The majority of people dislike Obamacare.

By the way, one large saving is denying all care to older people. You want to bet your life Obama wouldn't do that?
